Chemotherapy is scheduled to tentatively begin on Monday, February 24th. Tomorrow, February 18th, I will meet with my oncologist again. Right now, I’m feeling a bit nervous because I don’t love reading about all the potential side effects of treatment. But what helps is knowing I’m not alone on this journey—so many others are walking this path too.
I’m almost done with all my pre-chemo scans, with just one more to go—my pelvis MRI on Sunday. Then, this Friday morning, I’ll be having a port catheter placed in my chest to prepare for my chemo infusions. I’m anxious about that too, but also relieved to know it’s one less step between me and the end of this chapter.
Part of me just wants to get started already, so I can begin the healing process and move closer to the finish line. It’s a strange mix of fear, anticipation, and hope.
One day at a time, one step at a time--All things happen in God's time.

Thinking of you! Chemo doesn’t have any clue who it’s facing today. Praying for strength as you begin the healing process.
Thinking of you as you begin your chemotherapy today. It's ok to have all those emotions. Trust in the medical people that care for you and feel peace to calm you from the love and support of family and friends. You are never alone on your journey.
